Ricotta Cheese Meatballs

2015-03-30T09:00:28-05:00

Yesterday was the kid’s birthday and as is tradition, we went out to the lake for dinner.   With Easter being this upcoming weekend, Mum and I talked about simplifying dinner and decided that since the kid loves pasta – pasta, it is.

Winter Squash Soup

2012-09-25T05:51:45-05:00

The recipes for the Fall Coronation feast of Roak and Elizabeth was predominantly Italian, the soup was not, it’s French.  I chose it because squash is such a fall harvest food item.  The recipe can be made with pumpkin but truthfully, I don’t like it that way.

Chicken and Sausage Gumbo – Primal Style

2017-05-19T12:22:05-05:00

Two things to say right out of the gate.  First,  this is NOT authentic Cajun or Creole gumbo for a variety of reasons (file powder isn’t common up here in northern Ontario and there’s no okra which I loathe).  Second, the roux is not made with flour – this is a Primal based recipe, so […]

Making changes

2017-05-19T12:22:05-05:00

The last week has been a process of studying a bit about this lifestyle change and about purging a lot of the things I need to get rid of.  I finally went through the kitchen and purged the flour, cleaning out the pantry of things we can’t have on this Primal food plan.   Today I […]
